In conversation with Supt. Brand, theeditor of The Press and Standard said it would be like taking a bottle away from a hungry baby after it had just tasted PICKER. Mr Ernest Atkinson, a young man of the Armenia neighborhood, Ches ter county, has the following cotton picking record: Monday, .‘£51 pounds; Tuesday, 431 pounds; Wed nesday 300 pounds; Thursday, 5S. r >7 l>ounds. He picked a good bale in four days. Where is the man who can beat this record for one day or four five days.—Chester Lantern. STATE AUDITOR. In response to a suggestion of Senator Chrisensen’s the following clause was written in the present ment under consideration- “We respectfully submit that it is impossible for the Grand Jury with the time and means at its command, to properly examine the books, ac counts and methods in the offices of the county officials. We can only skim over the surface, and the grossest frauds might easily be per petrated and overlooked by us in the necessarly superficial examinaion that we make. This is a fact that is apparent and needs no argument. In our opinion these offices should be examined at least once each year by an expert accountant appointee by the Governor. While we have no reason to believe that such an ex amination would uncover wrong do ing in this county, we submit that system is wiong and urge the Legis lature to apply the suggested remedy.” Extract from the prese ntment of the Beaufort gi ai d> jury as published in the B*. auf«ri Gu/a-lu*. 0 We now have in Stock the INTERNA TIONAL CO’S Reliable Disk Harrows.

Wichman & Son day, as was given the meeting of jthe milk, if they stopped these the Teachers Association, would, we venture to assert, have resulted in a larger attendance, and, we venture also to add. t>f the teJftWk them- selves. - There was a well advertised meet ing of the county teachers assocoia- tion held at tne Academy here Saturday. The attendance was eleven! Eight teachers of Walter boro, and three outside Do Colle ton’s teachers read? Are they ambitious? Are they professional? Or are they out for the money? Address all replies to The Press and Stand ml. Col. E J Watson, the State com missioner of Agriculture, was here yesterday in attendance on themeet- ng of the farm demonstration work and gave an interesting talk along the line of his work. It is easily seen that Col. Watson is doing a great work and if he can only get the backing of the people of the state the results which will be obtained will pass all expectations. Col. Watson is very much interest ed in the problem of draining the low country. For instance there is in c/ this county thousands of acres of lands which, by being drained, would be among the richest farming lands in the state. By means of some draining and development Colleton, could easily become the foremost fanning county in the twoCarolinas. Not only would this be true of the eotton industry but of many other ^ O , ' o crops. As a trucking area Colleton, Ip some portions, is idesl. 0 Colonel Watson has on several os- oat that onssf tbs Ha in trains from stopping, and that he would hear some lusty cries, he then said he would do the best he could for us in the matter of connec- tions after Oct. 1st. Sure enough when the first of October came these trains ceased their stoppirg at Green Pond, and sure enough our people are very badly put out about it. Now, we are not running the Atlantic Coast Line’s trains, and we shall not attempt to say what is best for them to do, from their point of view, but we do know it is deucedly hard to have to sit down at Green Pond and see those trains go whizzing by, and think of the time lost there waiting! Now if the Coast Line wants to do the best it can for the people ol Walterboro and this section of country, and we believe it does, let them consider this proposition, if it continues not be feasible to stop the fast mail trains. Let the •local train instead of lying idle at Green Pond for an hour and a half to two houre.’return to Walterboro and go back to Green Pond, morning and afternoon. This would prevent the tiresome waits at Green Pond which cost “Governor” Heyward, w** are told, just seventeen years of his li.e according to actual count. As it is now a business man wishing to go to Charleston to attend to business la.* to lose three and a half to li at hours of valuable time at Gi ro Pond, which could just as well NO NEED OF IT There is no necessity for cotton be ing thrown on the market at the present prices. 1 he banks through out the State have offered to lend money on cotton recipts. Store your eotton in a bonded warehouse and get the money you need for present demands and hold to what you have for a better price. If you h|ive np warehouse at your place, write the Bonded Warehouse Company, Col umbia, S C., about storing with them. They have arranged to carry your cotton for you. Read what President Harris has to say in this issue About storing your cotton. You can get accommodation if you will go about it in the right way.— Farmers Union Sun. POSTMASTERS TO LECTURE. A recent dispatch from Washing ton says that Postmaster General Meyer has made an order which promises beneficent results. The postmasters of the country have been directed to confer with their local school authorities as to the practicability and desirability of delivering school children short talks on the postal service. The desire is to inform the pupils of the scope of its operations, the methods of deliver ing the mails, the classification of mail matter, and the registry and money order systems. Incidentally, they are to make known the plans for betterment, such as the establish ment of (Kistal savings banks and the extension of the parcles post. "With the selling of cotton and the increase of spending money, there seems to be an increased de sire to patronize the dispensary, aj\d the result is what we hail on the streets last Saturday. We would suggest that an ext ra policeman or | two be added to the force, especially spent at his store, office olr b»i.k making more business for the i ad- road by his industry. Now this is not an unreason., hie proposition and we refer it to tie aatboritke of the railroad and the a an easy and practical aoV on Saturday. A man can fill only one space at one tune, at?d for that reason it is impossi >le for the pre sent force to keei jp with all the disorder, and an unce of preven tion is still worth pound of care.” —Branchville Jou ral.
